ECHOES FROM THE CONVEN.

ATLANTA, Ca, August Is, 1887.
The convention is made up Of sub
stantial, brainy men from the cotton
states. 1t is pronounced by outside
parties, whose Judgment is instilled to
Reconsideration to beone Of the first
bodies of men ever assembled in the
South. Indeed q gentlemen o. the
staff of the Constitution who has had
much experience in large, deliberative
bodies, says, "for digniied, g~entlemanly
department and bearing, it is the best
convention I have ever SEEN" Con-
tinuous and pressing labors on COM
mittees, ETC., prevents me from writing
at present; but / endorse the reports
made of our proceedings by the AT
lanta Constitution, which will give the
readers of The PROGRESSIVE FARMER a
fair idea of the work. There are strong
men from all the states, of whom I may
speak in the future. North Carolina
is represented 10y a splendid delegation.
They are always in their seats, atten-
tive, v~igilantand ~deferentia, they have
won the respect of the convention. The
happy anasappsdRriate speechs Of, Col
onel Burgwyn in response to the ad-
dresses of welcome, is spoken of in the
highest terms. The Colonel did him
self honor in it's delivery, as well as in
the subject matter, and our delegation
are proud of his effort.
AThaI conventon has adjourned this
evening to meet in Raleigh on the third
Tuesday. in August, 1888. The vote
was narrowed down to a contest be-
tween ourgeityand Montgomery, Ala,
and was decided in our favor by a vote
Of as to 40. p. ~.s -
We have just enjoyed a splendid r.
ception by Governor Gordon and his
estimable lady at their private resi-
dence. The convention has accepted
ar invitation from the Western and
Atlantic railroad to, visit Chattanooga
and Lookout Mountain tomorrow, and
we leave at Z aim. tomorrow
